I started Slammed (Slammed, #1) by Colleen Hoover last night. But it was late and I fell asleep, I'd just finished Champion (Legend, #3) by Marie Lu . No words.

Finished reading Steelheart (Reckoners, #1) by Brandon Sanderson Loved it, and can't wait for the sequel! The style reminded me a little of Ready Player One.

Next up is Once We Were (The Hybrid Chronicles, #2) by Kat Zhang

I'm waiting on Steelheart (Reckoners, #1) by Brandon Sanderson until I'm in the mood - I'm feeling some contemporary right now after all the emotional tumult of Champion (Legend, #3) by Marie Lu .

I still need to read What's Left of Me (The Hybrid Chronicles, #1) by Kat Zhang - maybe later this month?

message 5216: by Jen (new)

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments I'm on overload. I have no idea what to read next.

I have these from the library:
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black Ashfall (Ashfall, #1) by Mike Mullin The Dream Thieves (The Raven Cycle, #2) by Maggie Stiefvater Starcrossed (Starcrossed, #1) by Josephine Angelini , all in print.

I just finished Slammed (Slammed, #1) by Colleen Hoover on audio, so was thinking maybe I'd try This Girl (Slammed, #3) by Colleen Hoover next. But I wasn't that impressed with Slammed, so I don't know.

I picked up Starcrossed (Starcrossed, #1) by Josephine Angelini on audio last night. But - meh.

I was wondering if maybe Shift Omnibus Edition (Silo, #2) (Wool, #6-8) by Hugh Howey would be worth picking up. I do have it on audio.

Opinions? Comments? Directions? Absolute musts?

I started a reread of Cinder (Lunar Chronicles, #1) by Marissa Meyer :)

Also finished Far Far Away by Tom McNeal and IT WAS AMAZING....unlike anything I've read. Felt like a gold old fashioned dark fairy tale, but also modern. I teared up at the end..the characters actually reminded me of Leisel and Rudy from The Book Thief. Beautiful, fun 5 star read!

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments Starting a 2 week+ trip today, so I gave up trying to decide what to read and just started at the top of my audio list (which is alphabetical). I'm now a little of the way into Abandon (Abandon Trilogy, #1) by Meg Cabot . Apparently it's a Persephone myth retell - and so far, just ok. I am committed to getting these print books read while I'm gone:
Earth Girl (Earth Girl, #1) by Janet Edwards The Golden Spiral (Hourglass Door, #2) by Lisa Mangum The Hollow Kingdom (The Hollow Kingdom Trilogy, #1) by Clare B. Dunkle Dealing with Dragons (Enchanted Forest Chronicles, #1) by Patricia C. Wrede .

David, if the Dwellers series was on audio, I'd have read it through at least twice by now. I am going to get it read by the end of the year, I swear!

(plus I've asked for an iPad mini to read all my Kindle/iBooks, so that will help immensely! It's such a pain to drag my laptop around trying to read books)

Lauren Stoolfire | 2047 comments The Grimm Conclusion (A Tale Dark & Grimm, #3) by Adam Gidwitz - Excellent final for the series! I'm going to be keeping my eyes on anything else Adam Gidwitz cares to write!

Now I'm moving on to A Million Suns (Across the Universe, #2) by Beth Revis !

I'm so behind on my book reading too!! Just finished my buddy read with Jenny of Onyx (Lux, #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout . Liked it overall.

Now going to work on finishing up The Runaway King (The Ascendance Trilogy, #2) by Jennifer A. Nielsen and my reread of Prodigy (Legend, #2) by Marie Lu so I can FINALLY start Champion (Legend, #3) by Marie Lu ! Also rereading Cinder (Lunar Chronicles, #1) by Marissa Meyer on audio!! LOVE Cinder! I think it's even better the 2nd time around and especially on audio! :-D

Reading World After (Penryn & the End of Days, #2) by Susan Ee !!

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments David wrote: "Reading World After (Penryn & the End of Days, #2) by Susan Ee!!"

I just finished The Tomorrow Code by Brian Falkner . David, do you know this book? It's advertised as time travel, but it's really not about that at all. It's set in New Zealand and is basically about a biological apocalypse. It has a lot of stuff crammed in - genetics, bio-warfare, gamma ray bursts, Maori culture, etc. This guy really did his homework, despite the fact that the whole thing is highly implausible. Anyway - you and Karen might both really like it.

Starting World After (Penryn & the End of Days, #2) by Susan Ee on audio tomorrow!

Enjoy, B.B! I will probably start my reread of Scarlet tomorrow. I have a busy reading day planned tomorrow, but that should be fine--I'm off work and its supposed to snow. So might as well sit inside and read!
